Critiquing the South Beach Wine and Food Festival's Grand Tasting
The biggest problem with Miami is though it does have a number of big name chefs (Michele Bernstein, Norman van Aiken, etc) and pop culture chefs (Jeff McInnis from Top Chef Season 5, Howie from TC Season 4 or 3?), etc), nobody goes to events like that in Miami for the food. It's the booze and the celebrity. I've lived here for going on 9 years, and I'm comfortable with that fact.
The event is held on the beach, people walk around top different tents, and massive amounts of people at that. If there were big meals, tons of food would be wasted because there is just so much going on, and no one wants a big heavy meal in Miami, no matter that it may have only been in the 60, because no one here EVER wants the dense meals.
There is a true foody scene, but those people don't go to the South Beach Food and Wine Festival Grand Tasting, because they know they won't be getting food, but instead would get the accoutrements that go along with being in Miami (i.e. booze and celebrity).

Some roasted cherry tomatoes (roasted with garlic and some red pepper flakes), olive oil, and black pepper with sea salt. Maybe add in some shrimp if it's in the house.
